Currently I work in the company which supplies US Army with mechanical equipment. Some portion of my job is to look for the solicitation. By looking on the solicitation and doing the basic estimation you can figure out how risky the future contract can be. So risks are prioritized based on the possibility of not being able to complete the contract and by possibility of underestimating the solicitations. Also in order to eliminate the risks of receiving defective materials from vendors corrective actions are taken. Corrective action helps to eliminate the risk that the same vendor will sell defected material again.

Thanks
